Helix widow wiped her tears and approached riven basking in the moon light. As soon as she reached him tears started rolling down her cheeks again. "She gently caressed riven's face and kissed his head."
Thank god my sweet child woke up. "She said while sobbing."
How long has it been since I lost my consciousness. "Riven asked her"
Its been 3 months your fractured leg is also healed in the meantime you were unconscious. "Helix widow replied"
Before she could say something else a voice came from behind.
Rest for the night riven. We'll come in the morning to know what actually happened. "Gearhound said from behind as she just entered the room."
Oi! old hag come with me let him rest he just woke up from coma. People usually need a little space after such deep slumber. "Gearhound said and dragged helix widow out from the room."
Before you both leave. Can you tell me the condition of trainees who were with me in last mission. "Riven asked"
As gearhound heard riven asking about trainees. She got a feeling that talking about that topic right now will only make riven uncomfortable.
Everything will be discussed in the morning riven there are several thing we want to know too from the past 3 months. "Grave fox said I'll be staying in the room tonight beside you sleep for a while."
Okay. Riven didn't insisted them further about the topic and leaned back closing his eyes.
*Around 3 Am*
A silhouette approached riven while he was resting and tried to stab him. But before he could stab riven held his and twisted it. Grave fox who was out to fetch some water form riven came there with water jug he placed it on riven's desk then punched the assaulter knocking him unconscious.
Normally someone would throw the jug and act immediately. "Riven said"
Nah I know even if I would have been late you would have handled it easily. So why the rush. "Grave fox replied"
After that grave fox approached the fainted assaulter on the ground. He removed the mask assaulter was wearing. The face behind the mask wasn't a bit surprising for grave fox as he already had a hunch who will try to do something like this to ryun. " later Grave fox asked cadets to tie the assaulter in custody room."
After that the night passed peacefully. Riven had a light breakfast and with the help of grave fox he reached and reported to helix widow.
We said that we'll come there why did you came here instead. You should rest for the time being. "Gearhound said"
I am okay don't worry to much about it. "Riven said"
It looks like it will take some rehab session for you to walk without support. "Rei said as she was present there with helix widow and gearhound."
Yeah it seems so. Where are those two trainees who were with me in the mission I though everyone will report here about mission. "Riven asked"
Grave fox helped riven sit down on chair. as standing for a long while in his condition isn't good.
Riven the mission was successful as you retrieved one suitcase from the lab. But I would like to know what happened in the mission which caused you this many injuries and the death of those two trainees with you. "Helix widow asked."
Upon hearing that renji and riku wasn't able to survive. Riven got numb he tried to recall what happened after the chopper arrived. As he recalled how there main focus was suitcase and not injured mercenaries and how he fainted but still heard there last words. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
Put that aside for right now. Riven was assaulted last night. And the assaulter was the hacker assigned to there previous mission. "Grave fox reported"
Hearing this helix widow called the hacker in the custody.
Call the 1st ranker trainee and tanker here too. "Riven asked"
You heard him all three of them here within 5 minutes do you get it. "Helix widow ordered the cadets."
*5 minutes later*
Both trainee reported and the hacker was brought back from the custody.
We all know what you told as last time is there anything you want to add "Helix widow asked the hacker".
The hacker said no ma'am I have nothing to add.
So why did you assaulted riven last night. "Specter asked."
I didn't assaulted anyone. Sir grave fox approached me last night and suddenly attacked me and after that when I regained my consciousness I was in custody. "The hacker replied."
So you didn't assaulted riven last night." Grave fox asked."
You can't threaten me with words sir. If you have any proof of assault happening to sir riven last night. And it was me who did it. Then only you can do something to me. Do you have any proof. But you don't have any or do you. "Hacker said"
Indeed the camera there has no footage. "Specter said"
Hearing this the hacker confidence improved as he switched of the camera's prior entering.
Why are we called here. 1st trainee and tanker asked. "Acting confused"
Riven why did you asked me to call them here too. "Helix widow said while looking in riven's direction.
The hacker you assigned for the previous mission didn't reported about the guards founding out that we infiltrated the lab. Which made us waste 20 extra minutes killing them. He did that to take revenge from me and trainees because of some past feuds with 1st ranker trainee and tanker.
In the meantime an ambush was prepared by a hitman named boros. He dispatched 3 sniper in different angles.
The trainees and I were wounded by them and boros came to retrieve suitcase he was assigned by someone else most probably. As he said that his client warned him about other parties behind the suitcases.
I managed to stop him from taking a suitcase and wounded him too. But was to emotional to focus on the mission item letting him escape with one.
Nothing of that would have happened if we wouldn't have wasted 20 minutes on guards there. As boros himself said that the guards bought him time to set up the traps. This was all that happened during the mission. "Riven said"
I hope you didn't disposed belongings of the trainees. Who died during the mission. As in the period of that mission I had a nice bonding with them resulting in making riku my sister and I was supposed to inherit some of there belongings. "Riven added."
Is what riven saying true. "Helix widow asked the hacker."
The hacker who was indifferent hearing the report started laughing and said so this are your 1st and 2nd ranker. One who assaults peoples at night. And another who blame his own ignorance on other. What is the proof huh what proof do you have that I did it and for these two. "Hacker replied."
Riven handed over his katana to grave fox and said. Do me a favor make sure they don't leave this room. Cut there index fingers, thumbs, vocal cords, eyes. But don't kill them they should live there pathetic life further with that. "Riven said"
What do mean with that I wouldn't be able to continue being a mercenary like that both trainees said.
You can't do that to us what have we done to you. You don't even have proof. So on what basis do you think your actions are justified. Please stop them Ms. Helix widow. You are head of this whole organization.
You wouldn't let people got wrongly accused right. "Hacker said"
Wrongly accused huh! you needed proof right. To justify there action let me show it to you then. Specter said.
What riven and grave fox said is truth. I've retrieved the data from his computer. Riven's ear piece and grave fox came necklace he always wore.
Then she played the assault video happened last night and voice recording on riven's ear piece.
Hearing upon those words the hacker was in cold sweat he can't argue about the data retrieval rule at this point because he was cause of 2 deaths in a mission which could have been completed without an hitch. He also didn't knew that riven and grave fox had equipment which record things.
As his last resort. He dropped on his knees and begged the grave fox for letting him go blaming everything on trainees.
Nothing can save any of you. You all deserve life ahead which is worse than death itself. Riven said.
And grave fox did as riven asked him too.
A little while later all three of them were unconscious on the floor bleeding. Cadets came and took them for there treatment. So they don't die from the excessive bleeding.
Can you let me see there belongings. "riven asked"
Helix widow nodded and asked cadets to bring the belongings of renji and riku.
*In the meantime*
The suitcase we retrieved is it delivered. "Riven asked"
Not yet we waited for you to gain consciousness. Grave fox will deliver the suitcase soon. "helix widow replied"
I want to investigate which other party was behind the suitcase. And what is it all about. I know I insisted you to let me leave after last mission. But this I have to know I can't leave it all behind like nothing happened. Will you give me the chance to choose my last mission. "Riven asked helix widow. His eyes showing his earnest will to find out others who caused death of renji and riku"
Complete your rehab. I'll make sure to prepare all necessary things needed in the mission. "Helix widow said"
While they where talking cadets brought belongings of renji and riku.
Riven took the Jian keychain, riku's hairband, and renji's bracelet they won on there date and renji and riku photo frame in which both of them were together.
*At evening*
Grave fox helped Riven to visit graves of renji and riku.
Riven stood there he was wearing the bracelet in the same hand he wore the dog tag bracelet. and tied his hairs with red hair tie of riku. This Jian key chain. You asked me to share it with my other half. Helix widow told me that you said it after I completely lost consciousness.
I don't think I'll find my other half. Or if there is even an other half for me. But if I did I will share it with her. Until then I'll have both part with me.
I can't live my life peacefully after you both died like you wished me for not until. I can find everyone related to your death.
Don't worry the next time I'll visit your graves. I will be entering next phase of my life. The phase in which I'll be living the peaceful life you wished me for me to live.
Until then I am leaving. With A Vow Left Behind.
